I decided to try something else. You may recall that we purchased a Radio Flyer walker wagon for her several months ago. She hasn't ever been interested in it other than to put stuff in and take it back out. During her session on Monday Mandy tried to get her to use it and she wouldn't stand at it - she just plopped down. I grabbed the wagon and sat down with Megan in my lap right in front of it and she stood right up. After a few minutes of adjusting to it and just standing leaning on me it was time to get moving. I held onto Megan's hips and used my foot to keep the wagon from going very far. I leaned Megan back and forth and she walked 5'-6' across the floor behind the wagon, very slowly sometimes holding onto the wagon and sometimes just standing straight up. She did this twice for me before she was done. It was amazing. I was in happy tears by the end of the second trek across the floor.

STEPS in the right direction
After nap today I was ready to get Megan up and her feet and moving again, but she didn't want to. She wouldn't stand at the table for more than 1-2 minutes and she fought me the whole time. I stayed with it for 7-8 minutes because sometimes she will come around. Well, she didn't come around and I was starting to think that Daisy had lost her powers.
